wo jo ruthen yun manana chahiye
zindagi se ruth jaana chahiye

himmat-e-qatil badhana chahiye
zer-e-khanjar muskurana chahiye

zindagi hai nam johd o jang ka
maut kya hai bhul jaana chahiye

hai inhin dhokon se dil ki zindagi
jo hasin dhoka ho khana chahiye

lazzaten hain dushman-e-auj-e-kamal
kulfaton se ji lagana chahiye

un se milne ko to kya kahiye 'jigar'
khud se milne ko zamana chahiye
